Pros

Good benefits and locations in areas with low costs of living.

Cons

Literally the dumbest C-level executives you could possibly have. It started with the Chief HR officer, then the CEO and it spiraled down from there. It is also EXTREMEY political. At least they fired the CEO but the new one put in place by CD&R is older and marginally engaged despite his track record. Chief HR officer openly admits all promotion opportunities go outside first. You better like what you do because you are not getting promoted no matter how you perform. Most experienced people have left because of this and now, the company is in total disarray. I made a lot of money there during the NCI days when they were growing. But CD&R is running the show now and it is all about cash in their pockets. Just look at the stock performance. It tells you all you need to know.

Pros

Work from home is the best one!

Cons

Not many, other than it’s a corporate setting so decisions get made slowly. Including decisions that might improve work.

Pros

Solid Corporate Blueprint: The high-level organization has an excellent strategic framework. Corporate-led continuous improvement initiatives, modern operator training systems, and matrix reporting structures demonstrate a commitment to long-term operational excellence. Infrastructure: The manufacturing assets, MES software setup, and technical scope of work provide a great environment for data-driven engineering and process optimization. Benefits: Compensation, day-one medical benefits, and corporate-level resources are competitive for the regional market.

Cons

Culture of Compliance: The facility culture prioritizes absolute personal compliance over objective operational excellence. Constructive feedback or process critiques are routinely penalized or labeled as "attitude problems," stalling genuine quality progression. High Indirect Turnover: This management-by-coercion style has dismantled workplace psychological safety, leading to ongoing administrative volatility and high turnover among supervisory and technical staff.
